It is VERY easy to do. I would recommend it anyway, that way you have a matched set.

Bigpop, you could also pop out one of the locks and carry it down to a locksmith and get a new key made for just a few bucks. Sorry Chris dont mean to cost you a sell

If i do believe so you can not get you ignition switch out without the key that fits it, so buying a new set of keys and tumblers does not help much.I think the ignition switch must be turned into accesory position with the key then a paperclip shoved in the little hole to remove them. sometimes locksmiths have rings of old keys that they might lend you to try and see if one will work or like the txbobcat said remove a lock from one of the doors and go from there.

Do you have a PHS copy of your invoice? Is the ignition and trunk key numbers on it? If so, bring that number to your locksmith and have one cut.

I tried to have keys cut from the PHC Doc numbers, but they didn't work. Maybe the locks were changes before, don't know. The ignition however is so worn, you can pull the key out while the car is running. It is not more than a stick now, that's why I can't believe it was ever changed. Takes a long time to rub down a key to where there is no ridges anymore. Had the keys cut from the numbers twice and still did not work, looks like I need a new set for the whole car.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
